S/S Fashion 2009: Fairy tale inspired dresses

This spring/summer collection we find magic and romantic dresses on the catwalks. Fairy tale is the theme which seams to have inspired many dresses this year. Models wearing soft and romantic dresses almost looking like mild princesses.

The Giorgio Armani collection’s long glitzy dresses made in pearls and floral printed see trough fabrics, makes the models looking magic and unreal, like innocent soft fairies!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

John Galliano though makes a stronger move, creating wild dresses in strong colors, making the models wearing blond curly wigs, strange enormous hats and heavy make up which gives the Galliano s/s collection an enchanting fairy tale touch! Like these green decorated soft Galliano dresses seen below.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

D&GDolce & Gabbana this s/s collection made as well some incredibly peculiar dresses, which almost seem to derivate from an other world, the land of fairy tales. Almost reminding of a mixture of characters from Alice in wonderland. With these enormous eye-catching dresses.

The long dress in sheer fabric with the gold flounce belt is definitely surrealistic and a perfect fairy tale example. The flower covered one though is more romantic and seems to be taken from a remote princess in some other world far away. Finally this year peculiar fairy tale-like dresses are more than perfect…

 

 

Jessica Alba wears Dolce&Gabbana

Yesterday at the Campari Club Red carpet in Milan, Jessica Alba wore a wonderful cocktail dress belonging to Dolce&Gabbana’s spring 2009 collection.

The dress is extremely smart, it has a refined style emphasized by the great value of material: Mikado silk. The elegance of this dress is also traceable as regards the choice of colour, an undying fiery red.

The preciousness of this dress is even better stressed by the big and elaborate belt, that gives a sparkling touch to the dress.The final effect is improved by the choice of red platform shoes and by red accessories.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also the famous singer and actress Beyonce Knowles couldn’t resist and for the first of her new film “Cadillac Redords”, she also chose a dress from the spring collection 2009 of Dolce&Gabbana.

She prefers a more close-fitting mise. The red is replaced by a more classical and quieter black. The belt with golden and silver details became the focal point of all the dress.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
The result is a sophisticated and really chic mise in both cases.

Scottish style for next 2008/09 fall winter D&G Dolce&Gabbana collection

Typical Scottish squared pattern of the highlands is going to be one of next fall winter trends. Dolce&Gabbana, in their D&G Dolce&Gabbana collection for next fall winter, picked the Scottish pattern as leading fantasy of their collection.

Tartan, or Scottish pattern, was born within the Highlands in the 18th century, and it originally meant the belonging of a family to a specific clan. It became a distinctive icon of a family power, and, little by little, it also became part of the Scottish culture up to now.

Tartan was a particular wool pattern, typical of kilts and Scottish customs, the result of fine wool different coloured threads, matching with each other and creating the well known squared pattern.

Tartan quickly conquered the world of fashion, it became an important decorative pattern, very loved by designers, and fashion has been reinterpreting the tartan pattern according to its laws.

Wonderful witness of this trend is D&G Dolce&Gabbana collection, its dresses and shirts for a style that can be easily combined with country accessories and boots.

Fashion has always been courting Past, for it is interesting to take what it brought good to us, and for the pleasure of recreating forever gone atmospheres. This time the world of fashion pays its tribute to a discussed and controversial era, the Roman era, with its bads and goods.
